JPH06157279A - Massaging agent of salt - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a massaging agent of salt capable of reducing load to skin by weakening stimulation to skin, preventing drying of skin and chapped skin, maintaining skin moist and smooth, readily being handled and easily massaged. CONSTITUTION:A massaging agent of salt comprises at least one of a humectant and a surfactant and salt in a crystal state. Since salt is in a mutually stuck state of salt granules while maintaining a proper viscosity, physical stimulation to skin by friction is small, load to skin can be reduced and the massaging agent of salt is in a readily handled state by hand.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to improvements in salt massage agents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as folk remedies for treating slimming and arthritis, there has been known a therapy in which crude salt or salt is directly rubbed against the body and massaged. However, if the granular crude salt or salt is directly rubbed on the skin, there is a problem that the physical irritation due to the friction is strong and a load is applied to the skin, and the skin becomes dry or rough after massage. Also, if you take crude salt or salt as it is, the salt has no viscosity, so it will spill during the massage, resulting in poor efficiency.

[0003]

Therefore, the present invention is
Provides a salt massage agent that weakens physical irritation to the skin and reduces the burden on the skin, prevents dryness and rough skin, makes the skin moist and smooth, and is easy to handle and massage. It is something to do.

[0004]

The present invention provides a salt massage agent containing at least one of a moisturizer and a surfactant, and a salt in a crystalline state,
This is to solve the above problems.

First, as the salt, it is preferable to use a crude salt, a normal salt, a salt such as salt. The size of the salt particles is arbitrary, but rock salt, crushed salt and the like having too large salt particles are not suitable.

The moisturizing agent and the surface active agent are capable of imparting an appropriate viscosity to the entire salt massage agent and weakening the physical irritation to the skin caused by the salt. As this moisturizer, those used for maintaining appropriate humidity in cosmetics and the like can be adopted, and specifically, glycerin, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, diglycerin, poly Mention may be made of polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, saccharides such as sodium hyaluronate, xanthan gum, sorbitol, lactate, seaweed extract, amino acids such as pyrrolindonecarboxylate, and the like.

Examples of the surfactant include fatty acid salts, alkyl sulfates, alkyl ether sulfates, alkyl amide ether sulfates, α-olefin sulfonates, fatty acid white condensate salts, fatty acid glyceryl sulfates, fatty acid methyl taurate salts. , Fatty acid isethionate salt, alkyl sulfosuccinate, alkylamido sulfosuccinate, N-acyl-L glutamate, alkyl amine oxide,
Amino acid monoglyceride ester, dimethylaminopropylamine derivative, hydroxyethylalkylisodazolinium, betaine alkylacetate, alkylamidopropylbetaine, betaine alkylsulfate, monoalkyl phosphate, etc. By foaming, foaming occurs during massage to exert a detergency, and the feeling of use is further improved, but a non-foaming surfactant can also be used.

The above moisturizers and surfactants may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds, or one kind or a plurality of kinds of moisturizers and surfactants may be used in combination. May be. By uniformly mixing this salt with a moisturizing agent and a surfactant, it is possible to obtain a state in which a large number of salt particles (crystals) exist in close contact with each other while maintaining an appropriate viscosity. As long as the state is maintained, some salts may be dissolved. However, it is inappropriate that the amount of the salt in the crystalline form is extremely small and that the salt particles are clearly dispersed in the liquid, cream or gel form. It is possible to change the compounding ratio of salts and the like, and the types of humectants and surfactants, provided that the above-mentioned proper state is maintained. Generally, the compounding ratio is suitable to be 2 to 30 parts by weight of a moisturizing agent and a surfactant with respect to 60 to 98 parts by weight of a salt. The mixing ratio also changes.

Further, in addition to the above components, in addition to the above-mentioned components, water and a thickener, as well as the above-mentioned components, provided that salt particles are present in close contact with each other while maintaining an appropriate viscosity. Appropriate substances can be additionally blended such as nutritional components such as honey, royal jelly and egg white, various plant extracts, oil components, a wide variety of cosmetic raw materials such as flavors and the like. Some of these salts may be dissolved by these components, but they become saturated, and most of the salts maintain a crystalline state, and the salt particles are in close contact with each other while maintaining an appropriate viscosity. It needs to exist.

For example, when glycerin (humectant) and water are blended with normal salt, depending on the blending ratio of each component,
The state shown in Table 1 is obtained, and the suitability as a salt massage agent also changes. Also, when a 25% aqueous solution of polyoxyethylene lauryl ether sulfate (surfactant) is blended, the state shown in Table 2 is obtained depending on the blending ratio of each component, and suitability as a salt massage agent also changes.

A salt massage agent is obtained by uniformly mixing the components of Examples 1 to 4 above. In this blending, all the blending ingredients were added and then mixed and stirred. Incidentally, each component may be sequentially added while stirring, and an appropriate mixing method may be adopted. In each of the obtained salt massage agents, the salt particles were in a state of being in close contact with each other while maintaining an appropriate viscosity.

Using the salt massage agents of Examples 1 to 4, 20 women were subjected to a usability test. As a comparative example, a feeling of use test was conducted under the same conditions using only salt (normal salt) as a salt massage agent.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION In the salt massage agent according to the present invention, since the salt particles are in close contact with each other while maintaining an appropriate viscosity, the original purpose of massaging with salt is to be achieved. The physical irritation to the skin due to friction can be suppressed to a relatively small level without damaging it, and the burden on the skin can be reduced, and it is in a state that it is easy to hold and handle. Furthermore, this salt massage agent, even after long-term storage, by the action of the moisturizing agent or surfactant,
It is possible to maintain an appropriate viscosity as a whole and maintain ease of use. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the physical irritation to the skin and reduce the burden on the skin, prevent dryness and rough skin, can make the skin moist and smooth, and can be easily handled and massaged easily. It was possible to provide a salt massage agent.
